Alexandra Grimes, NCPS

Alexandra Grimes offers a calm, respectful space for people seeking change. She greets clients with warmth and listens without judgement. Alexandra aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs and moves at a pace the client prefers.

Alexandra has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds NCPS as a credential. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and addictions. Other areas she helps with include LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD and coping with life changes.

Her practice is grounded in a person-centred way of working, which keeps the client’s experience at the heart of therapy. She also draws on cognitive behavioural approaches to help with patterns of thinking and on psychodynamic ideas to consider past influences. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify steps that move a person toward their goals.

Sessions are conducted online from her home practice, and Alexandra recommends video calls to help build a strong therapeutic relationship, though phone calls or messaging are possible if preferred. She describes her approach as non-directive - clients choose what to bring to the room and she follows that lead.

The aim is to help people understand and process difficulties, find practical ways forward, and feel more empowered in day-to-day life. Alexandra invites those ready to take a first step to begin the matching process and schedule a session.

How Alexandra uses therapy approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own experience at the centre of sessions and focuses on listening, empathy and acceptance to help people talk through what matters. It is useful for emotional pain, relationship concerns and when someone needs space to make sense of their feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and helps people try practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often suits anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping with stress.

Psychodynamic ideas explore how past experiences and repeated patterns influence present behaviour and relationships, which can help when someone wants to understand longer-standing difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Alexandra will work collaboratively to decide what fits best for a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She often blends approaches so the work matches what the client wants to achieve.

Sessions are offered online from her home practice and she recommends video calls to strengthen the therapeutic connection, while phone or messaging options are mentioned as alternatives. Please confirm the available session formats when arranging appointments. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time, support shorter check-ins and offer flexible scheduling to suit work and family commitments.
